CRIER Newsletter September 2025

As summer draws to a close, numerous programs are starting for the autumn and winter periods. One challenge experienced during the summer months was the absence of air conditioning. We are delighted to announce that an anonymous benefactor has generously funded the installation costs for our entire space. This will have a big impact, and we are extremely grateful. Our transportation program remains a key initiative, as we are actively identifying individuals with mobility challenges to offer complimentary transportation services to the center. For further information, please contact us at 262-642-2266.
